The Problem

You got to backup your linux servers to tape. The windows-centric environment you live in uses symantec backupexec (BUE) and it works really well for windows servers. You got a spiffy Fedora 14 box with some CORAID storage attached to it and you need to make it backup to BUE. The linux install package fails, symantec support only recognize RHEL and SUSE as worthy linux distributions (although they used to also recognize Ubuntu), what do you do?
